Critical Neurophilosophy & Indigenous Wisdom

ISBN: 9789460911095 出版年：2010 页码：167 Four Arrows Gerg Cajete Jongmin Lee Brill

This book begins a long overdue dialogue between Western neuropsychology and Indigenous wisdom. The latter holds that technology, including that which supports the neurosciences, is an important aspect of humanity, but that without a deeper understanding of the sacred, natural world, its consequences will continue to disrupt the balance of life on Earth. This book argues that without incorporating Indigenous wisdom into theories relating to brain research and scientific assumptions about human nature, humanity may never learn how to avoid this problem.
